Instructions
Cumin is the star of the show in this vegetable-packed recipe. Warming spices and hearty quinoa make this dish the ultimate comfort food.1. To prepare the chickpeas: Soak the chickpeas for 24 hours and drain them before adding them to a medium pot with plenty of water and the baking soda. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook until the chickpeas are tender (about 30-35 mins). Drain the water and set the chickpeas aside.
2. In the meantime, add the quinoa to another medium pot with the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until all of the water is absorbed (about 15 mins).
3. In a large pan, add the onion and olive oil. Saute until the onion is soft and translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Add the cumin, turmeric, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper and cook for a minute or two, until fragrant, then add the crushed tomatoes, zucchini, squash, cauliflower, and chickpeas. Stir to combine. Let the vegetables cook for 15-20 minutes, until tender.
5. Serve the vegetables on a bed of quinoa and sprinkle with golden raisins for a touch of sweetness, if desired.
